Long Dry rot Poems

Purgative debacle debilitated me December 18th, 2020

Hoop fully adequately explains
source of odoriferous dry rot,
ye possibly smell, I jot
within this reasonable rhyme

A bedroom should be pleasant
a place where futures are conceived
where wonderful dreams in their effervescence are woven and believed.

when dreams aren't loved, supported and nurtured,
they are cast aside along with the future.
weeds now grow instead...

Under the Lampshades

You are hurriedly racing your crazy Cadillac,
looking to squeeze in more time at the yoga salon, 
and have a relaxing conversation under a set of palm trees out back, 
with sandwiches of desire...

love is so hard to requite
when sin has killed desire
where there was once a desprite need
now the smoke of an extinguished fire
the empire where there was a throne
that sparkled with streets of gold
crumbled into disrepair

I jumped a bit when the hearse was slammed.
My bones were brittle, and I felt quite damned.
My flesh was starting to gray up, it gave a laugh.
My eyes were sinking, and I felt a draft.

She’s...

Fragile as alabaster white dry as your sin 
so sweet I want to caress to cradle and suffocate.

I feel that dry course texture of alabaster 
and sin, the skin you are in, I feel the...

I'm Bald headed-have piss yellow teeth
don't use balm or whiteners to appear young again 
every scar is a jagged path to a novella called living.

here i am in the flesh
no victim levelled in scope
22 catches im cashing
not selling the dope

You've been told.
Dirty laundry doesn't go on Facebook especially if
You don't want to get caught.
This was cold 
By a thousandfold

Puzzled by your measured liftime, 
Much confusion you equate, 
Knowing, as you grasp a lifeline, 
Schedules show a drowning date. 

Set upon by weeds and thickets, 
Shuttered windows hide the veiw. 
Then to find out-dated...

In the land someone forgot
I found my Camelot
On a cal-de- sac on a corner lot
In a tree filled plot.
It's my beauty spot.
Probably to a lot

On A White Stool

You know there is no turning around, 
no pausing in any way, because the path to the woods,
where the sky demons make their homes, 
has been flooded by the blue rivers there,...

unfathomable
all contact lost
beyond reach of umami
petulance 'tis impenetrable
sonar blips blubbed, unopened as dead mail
pings re-echoed dispelled, quashed
peripheral smiles cast-off in scows
shipwrecked eyes lashed with umbilical sighs
all at sea, adrift hand-paddling 
willy nilly circling in coracle...
